    Review after 50 hours ingame.

    So what we have here?, another AI upscale mod, throwing textures in a pipeline, press a button and wait a view hours ?No, absolutly NO, the Textures in this mod are truly a remaster, you know the remaster series from HalkHogan ? Vanilla Remaster has the same quality, for the whole game !. I have tried all upscaler mods, and all have the same problem, white lines, details looking more like a painting than a texture, and the depth and material illusion is mostly gone.

    Waqas textures looking not like an upscale or AI generated fake detail picture, they look like real high quality all new handmade textures. What you get here is a truly remastered 2024 quality mod.From Markarth to Winterhold, from Riften to Whiterun, any City looks fantastic, from the smallest things like Urns and Pots to the biggest building and objects like Mountains and Lands, from Armors and Weapons to Animals, Caves and Dungeons, you will experience a whole new level of detail.

    When you pair parallax, and all this fantastic meshfixes on nexus with Vanilla Remaster and when your machine can handle, on top a great ENB and weather mod, you have a next gen Skyrim. When you enjoy the true vibe of Vanilla Skyrim, but never found a good texture replacer, and you are ending up using other texture replacer, but you know all this textures are not realy what you want, you are now on your journeys end, welcome to Waqas Remaster, no more compromises, just high quality next level retextures.

    Thank you Waqas for this amazing epic mod, for all the hours and work, for your effort and your true love for Skyrim.

    Half joke half truth, this is the best mod ever because:
    1) it  makes the whole game look better with minimum efforts from user;
    2) it does not block Steam achievements;
    3) it does not require SKSE;
    4) it does not require extra steps like some ENB, also no messing with .ini files etc
    5) it can be installed / uninstalled / updated zillion times and it will not break my save;
    6) it is easy to install / re-install the game at another computer, just unpack this mod and pick up my save, no Wabbajack no other tools needed!
    7) no compatibility issues;
    For real the best mod ever, no cons at all besides size, LOL, which is expected :-)

      I tried my best to compact it in size but I won't possible beyond that with out substantial quality loss giving the vanilla textures do take 8 gb i think its fine

    I tried your mod many hours, here are my conclusions. 
    I will add more and different as  bitl22 wrote but same good).

    1) Performance 100%
    2) Conflicts with other mods 0
    3) Stability 100%
    4) Graphic Glitches 0

    I will vote this mod for sure, as Mod of the Month so long December arrives, cause now end of November, is no use.

    This mod is amazing. I play on a MacBook Air and this rescale has seriously improved my FPS, not to mention the fact that everything looks so much better! Thank you!

    I swear by this mod.

    This is hands down the best Upscaled + Reworked Vanilla texture mod out there! and I have tried many.

    1. I play skyrim on a Laptop with no dedicated gpu and felt no performance downgrade whatsoever
    2. It has no compatibility issue with any other mods
    3. All the reworked textures look fantastic and nothing feels out of place 
    4. Easy Installation. Replace the original texture files in skyrim data folder and you're good to go (create a back up if u want)
    5. No Graphical issue (atleast for me)

    Thankyou for making this mod Waqas textures. 10/10

    Great work on this! However, is it possible for you to add a seperate download file for just the weapons, armor/clothing, and jewelry?

    Hello, I think The New Normal mod is done. Do you still plan to upload your mod without Normal maps?

    Amazing effort BTW.

    This looks amazing. Let me ask you something: if I were to use only the diffuse files, would the game use more or less VRAM overall than if I used both diffuse and normal maps? That is, do this mod's normal maps use more or less VRAM overall compared to the vanilla ones?

      Normal maps use less VRAM than Vanilla, and they are mostly on par with Vanilla; about 25 percent of them are half-res compared to Vanilla.

    I am absolutely astounded by how good these look. You definitively spent a lot of time and effort on these, and it really shows. I am really happy I can make my vanilla Skyrim so much better with one mod. Thank you!

    In Parallax Textures For Vanilla Game and Various Mods, what mod should I use? the one that was for the original version of this, or the ultimate one?

      Hi

      Just want to confirm,
      If i have installed this mod optimized version & want to have parallax, i don't need to redownload the ultimate version? I only need The New Normal &  Parallax Textures For Vanilla Game and Various Mods & continue the process (run pgpatcher, setup CS, etc), is it correct ?

      Yeah you dont need Ultimate but  The New Normal have some kind of Parallax baked in the alpha channel and does not go well with other parallax mods for vanilla try your self what suits you the best

      You don't need them if you've already got the main files. It's the same textures, just packed differently.

    i got a creation called dr jacobo's 3d plants vol 1, will this overwrite it or would any conflicts result in a crash?

    I've been fortunate in not having any crashes on this recent 10hr playthrough and am worried about making it unstable
